So we starts from here....

Chapter 1: Tulsi’s Dilemma

Setting: Virani Mansion, Mumbai – late evening. Rain patters against the grand windows, echoing Tulsi’s restless heart.

[Scene 1 – Tulsi Alone]

Tulsi sits by the window, her hands instinctively resting on her growing belly. The news that Mihir is presumed dead weighs heavily on her.

Tulsi (whispering to herself):

"Presumed… dead? Mihir… gone… and now… this child… how will I survive without him?"

Her maid peeks in nervously.

Maid:

"Ma’am… everyone is waiting in the drawing room. They… they want to speak to you."

Tulsi (closing her eyes, steadying herself):

"Very well… I’ll face them."

[Scene 2 – The Family Confrontation]

Tulsi enters the drawing room. Mansukh and Savita sit with stern but worried expressions. The atmosphere is tense.

Mansukh (sternly):

"Tulsi… the family cannot wait. The child… the Virani legacy… your future… everything is at stake."

Tulsi (shaken, voice soft but firm):

"I… I lost Mihir! He… he’s only presumed dead, and you… you want me to marry someone else?"

Savita (voice trembling, trying to balance firmness and care):

"Tulsi… we are not trying to hurt you. But the child… and the family… you must think practically. Anupam Kapadia will protect you."

Tulsi (almost whispering, tears in her eyes):

"Protect me? Or chain me to someone else’s life? How can I… when Mihir… my husband… my love… might still be alive?"

[Scene 3 – Anupam Enters]

Anupam steps in. Calm, dignified, yet his eyes show the weight of the situation.

Anupam:

"Tulsi… I am honored that your family trusts me. I… I cannot replace Mihir. But I promise… I will never harm you or this child. I will only protect both."

Tulsi (voice rising with anger and frustration):

"Protect? Or control? You cannot… you cannot take what is not yours!"

Mansukh (cutting in, firm):

"Tulsi! Enough of this! Your duty… your child… our family… you have no choice. This marriage is necessary!"

Savita (softly, eyes pleading):

"Tulsi… I know your heart is shattered. But think of your unborn son. Think of Gautam’s future."

Tulsi (clenching her fists, whispering to herself):

"Duty? Legacy? My heart… my love… must I betray him to survive?"

Rain falls harder outside, mirroring Tulsi’s inner storm. The room is silent except for her sobs, the unspoken grief, and the tension that promises a turbulent journey ahead. All the while, a tiny spark of hope lingers — Mihir might not truly be gone…
